Sorry, I can't offer a link to justify why people are so willing to support mega size corporations who peddle everything from juk food to eye care under one roof . Meats and veggies at Walmart! Not everyone is a bad apple, why not support the individuals? You must remember the milk man, paper boy, encyclopedia salesman. Do you own Tupperware? Does anyone remember C&H Sugar? You know, California & Hawaii?
The big Islands sugar cane fields are left wild and unharvested. The natives eat government cheese.

Don't forget the franchise business either, McDonalds and the like.
The juice is healthy and natural and yes expensive.
Health & Harmony..........

Simply amazing! I started my mother of 85 years on Mona Vie, drinking 4oz 3x a day. The 2oz 2x a day is for a 20 year old with no symptoms or health issues!!! I began drinking Mona Vie as well. I had amazing results within 3 days, drinking the same amount but it's my mother that had such a turnaround, that she now has a quality of life that no doctor ever dreamed she could have!!! After multiple stokes 5 years ago, diabetic and going blind not to mention cancer issues, after 4 months drinking Mona Vie, she went from 13 specialists to 5...no joke! Her eyes are so improved that she is now reading; the mass in her breast is gone completely and it had grown to the size of a lemon!!! (She is considered inoperable b/c of heart issues, etc., but doctors had insisted that she go to the cancer surgeon who with films taken there said, "something is eating this mass!") NO...Mona Vie does not heal and we know that!!! But in this society where eating sugar, cardboard and chemicals is promoted as "food", we are not getting the nutrients we need for our bodies to fight off disease and health issues. As for Mom...nothing was changed in her regimine other than the addition of Mona Vie and the improvement is VAST! As for the critics of this juice...drinking consistently is key; drinking more is better and being patient. It is not a "silver bullet" but it will make a difference in anyone's health if given the chance! Rant and rave all you like! I dont think this reporter knows what he is talking about and as for the success of the company...something is right for so many to keep clamoring for MORE MONA VIE!!! M.O.R.E...anyone know that Mona Vie is caring for over 1000 orphans in Brazil? That Mona Vie is educating and training adults to read/write and develop skills to get jobs to support their families? WHAT A BIASED ARTICLE!!! SHAME-SHAME-SHAME

Thanks Yahoo & McAfee for the heads up so that others will know about this scamless, email solicitation business.

The father of the modern goji cult, Dr Earl Mindell is a Canadian-American who describes himself as ???the world???s leading nutritionist???, but who actually scored his PhD from an unaccredited online university (the same ???diploma mill???, in fact, from which the Honourable Marcus Einfeld ???graduated???). Mindell, who published Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret in 2003, and who also happens to sell ???goji??? juice through multi-level marketing group, Freelife International, recently claimed during a Canadian television interview that ???goji??? was a cure for cancer, as had been proved, he said, by a study from the prestigious Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, when in fact, according to the Sloan-Kettering website, no such study has taken place there at all. Almost everything else ???Dr??? Mindell has said about goji juice appears to be complete bunk.

Since my post is wedged in here among so many sales pitches, it may never be read by anyone other than the spam-posters. Here goes anyway:

For some reason, the state of Utah is a magnet for direct-marketing schemes (or should I say scams). Seriously, it would not surprise me if a small army of sociologists did their dissertation work on this Utah-based phenomenon. I can say this about Utah without malice; I'm originally from there and am proud of it. But what a hassle it can be: either your neighbor or your cousin or your fellow churchgoer has some great "new business" they just started and want to let you in on the juicy deal because they love you so much.

Whether it's Amway, Melaluca, NuSkin, Tahitian Noni, or this new brouhaha MonaVie, Utah has been a host to all these unwanted marketing parasites and more. And they all pretty much claim the same thing: it will cure/fix whatever ails you, bring you amazing happiness and make you fabulously rich in the process. It goes without saying, it never really pans out. What a shame so many people of my home state fall for it!

Mr. Larsen, take note: your direct-marketing predecessors all pretty much had the same ignominious ending -- sell your lousy car collection and get out now before you too get subpoenaed for fraud.

"Critics call MonaVie a "legalized scam" that benefits only a few kingpin executives." Just like AlGores carbon offset schemes, why don't you investigate that?

Never really thought about that CLEETUS. But it makes sense. Our industry is a great target for them, what have they got to lose, other than Amway maybe. I see Amway is starting to do commercials. So big media will most likely will not go after Amway, as they are a potential ongoing income source as they break into retail or wherever the heck they are heading???!!??? Anyway, I think I was trying to say, I agree with you. :)

I wonder if there are any Network Marketing companies that the major media outlets like. I mean, first of all, the industry of network marketing doesn't advertise, major media never get paid by them. In fact, network marketing is getting bigger and bigger every year. There are thousands of companies now. Seems as though they are gaining market trust. But Jamor media still hasn't found even one that they like. Interesting. Of course there are some celebs that talk good about some of the companies. Anyway, I just say keep in mind the source of your information, and their motivation. I thought, considering the writers position, he did a fairly good job, not the most accurate, but pretty good for a guy who's not in the industry.

I think Monavie is a wondeful Product. I like all the research and science they have to back up their claims. They have the best processing of the acai berry on the planet, i think if you look a lttlle more into the company and its product you will like what you see, drink and make!! www.the-team.biz/MV924692

I purchased the acai juice from multi-level marketing people 13 months ago; after two servings, I had huge welts on my lower back - a painful allergic reaction, and a waste of $54. I have recently noticed that acai juice is available at Costco (produce section) at about 1/4 the price charged by the multi-level marketing people.

A lot of deceptive mlm companies, like Monavie, went through someone simply filling a complaint to have a company looked into, which leads to huge fines to that company and possible termination for using deceptive tactics of income claims to product health claims.

Most people do not know where they can send a complaint to have a pyramid scheme shut down. Many Government Agencies look at BBB Reports first and may even work with BBB. Look for the BBB in the city the company is closest to ( Salt Lake City, UT ) and file a complaint. It just takes 20 complaints for the Attorney Generals Office to investigate a company, fine the company or shut them down. Find the state the offending party is in and send an electronic complaint fast.

If you are invited to attend a MonaVie opportunity meeting, even though they may call it something else on their invite, bring a voice recorder, video camera or even a camera and record the event with one of those medias. That away after the meeting if all you heard was how to recruit people to earn money or testimonies of curing ailments you have something to send to the FTC, Attorney General of your State, BBB or the FDA. Reps for Monavie always tend to show their potential earnings to entice you to sign up. Reps will also make deceptive health claims on how the juice cured or got rid of some kind of health issue for them or someone they know so you will buy the overpriced juice.
